When a client requests a refund, his request goes to the Ticket System, where it should be resolved by an author in the shortest period of time. If an author cannot offer a solution or reach an agreement with a client, the request can be escalated and Customer Care department representatives will make a final decision regarding such request. If a client gets a refund, then the received commission is deducted from an author’s account balance.
It’s strictly forbidden to promote competitors’ products, so you cannot offer your clients those products that are not provided on the marketplace.
Payment processing fee is shared 50/50 between an author and the marketplace. Payment processing systems (e.g. Paypal, Stripe etc) charge 2%-3.9% + $0.30, and the fee mainly depends upon whether the order is a domestic or an international one. Each payment system has its own rates and they may change.
Please note! From February 15, 2024, new Presentations, Graphics, Video, Audio, and 3D products will be automatically added to MonsterONEsubscriptions as another way to increase author revenue.
